Airship Balancing and Stability at Longitudinal Established Motion

On the steady-state motion in the vertical plane of an airship of the classical scheme

“…Based on the system of equations (6), it is possible to construct algorithms for calculating the steadystate motion of an airship for different cases of flight along inclined trajectories corresponding to different methods of takeoff and landing of a free airship, i.e., one not equipped with a special cable landing system. Among others, it is possible to build such trajectories that provide short takeoff distances and low landing speeds of the airship, which corresponds to the solution of the problem of safety of its operation as a technical system.…”

“…However, so far, in spite of a great interest, which appeared in recent years all over the world to flying vehicles of this type, the problems of dynamics of airship flight remain completely insufficiently investigated. The development of the classical results described in [1][2][3][4][5][6] is reflected in [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. In the proposed work, we consider the motion of an airship of rather small volume, e.g., a remotely piloted airship, during steady-state motion in the vertical plane.…”
